Chapter 1470 - 1472

"The supermarket has opened already?" Gong Ruini felt truly embarrassed, "I haven’t even paid attention to this at all."

Ugh, such a good source of cash flow, but unfortunately, she had too much on her plate recently and didn’t have the time to think about it.

"Looks like we can open a branch soon." The business of a supermarket flourishing means constantly opening new branches, that’s a must.

Not to mention, according to their previous plan, opening supermarkets is a continuous process of land acquisition.

"Rui Wen is already on it, and plans to open some in Shanghai and Yangcheng as well." While they haven’t fully expanded in Beijing, Gong Ruwen has already decided on acquiring land elsewhere.

Ah, her big brother actually didn’t think about capturing all the land in Beijing first, but jumped straight to expanding into new markets elsewhere.

"Impressive, looks like the funding gives my brother a lot of courage." Gong Ruini could only express her approval for Gong Ruwen’s actions.

"We don’t need to withdraw funds from Japan. The supermarket’s cash flow is unbelievably good." She recalled her dad’s slightly envious tone on the phone a few days ago.

Even those who normally wouldn’t pay attention to the younger generation’s entrepreneurship couldn’t help but notice it, it’s really quite the moneymaker.

"Fortunately, they don’t know about Japan." Gong Ruini chuckled to herself. Just one supermarket has already triggered this envy and jealousy; if they knew about the money-printing pace in Japan, she’d worry about how they’d handle it.

"Exactly." Zhao Xuran had no good feelings for those back home who only seemed to step on others or get rid of competitors through underhanded means.

"Thank goodness the supermarket had foreign stakes at the start." Zhao Xuran felt extremely relieved, "Yeah, I suddenly remembered, didn’t Guang Ran say he wanted to get a foreigner from the United States?"

This was partly to replace Gong Ruwen, who was going abroad to study, and also because the prolonged absence of foreigners in the supermarket’s management team could stir up those watching eagerly from the sidelines.

On this issue, Gong Ruini felt a bit awkward about chipping in.

Zhao Xuran, seeing that Gong Ruini’s mood had somewhat recovered, also let out a sigh of relief, "Shall we go out?"

He wondered how worried Zhan Jing and the others waiting outside might be.

Gong Ruini didn’t want to go out, "I don’t want to go out."

Oh, not going out? Maybe she hasn’t fully recovered yet, otherwise why would she be embarrassed to go out?

"My eyes are red." Without looking in a mirror, Gong Ruini knew she probably looked like a rabbit right now.

Gong Ruini didn’t hope for her image to be exceptionally good, but at least she didn’t want to give Zhao Guangran a chance to mock her.

Yes, she was annoyed by Zhao Guangran. Such important matters are shared with Zhao Guangran, but not with her, the person involved, which was really infuriating.

"Alright, alright." Zhao Xuran lifted Gong Ruini’s head, okay, her eyes were indeed red.

"What do you plan to eat today?" Zhao Xuran asked softly.

"I want to eat fish, sea fish." Gong Ruini nodded toward the menu she had frequently picked since her pregnancy.

For Zhao Xuran, his wife wanting to eat sea fish was not surprising at all. Initially, he thought Ni Zi genuinely liked seafood, but later found out she had heard somewhere that pregnant women eating more sea fish is good for the baby, as it would make the child smarter in the future.

As for this theory, Zhao Xuran really didn’t know where it came from. Of course, he had also asked the doctor, who wasn’t sure either.

But one thing was certain, his wife’s appetite was quite robust, and even the nausea that many worry about during pregnancy had not been an issue.

"Alright, but Ni Zi, aren’t you tired of it?" Zhao Xuran hadn’t dealt with a lot of seafood before, so he wouldn’t have encountered the issue of getting tired of it unless they ordered it frequently.

Getting tired of it? How could she not? If she had a choice, Gong Ruini really didn’t want to eat seafood.

But could she be capricious? "It’s alright." Gong Ruini said gently.

Alright, Zhao Xuran understood. His wife didn’t really like seafood. It was only because of the potential benefit for their child’s intelligence that she persisted.

"Ni Zi, you really don’t have to work so hard. Eat what you like, don’t eat what you don’t like."

Zhao Xuran really didn’t want to see Gong Ruini enduring so much. His girl should live more freely.

"If the child is smart, that’s great, and if not, just maintaining what we have is fine." A family that had developed over two generations, with a successor who could maintain stability, was a good option too.

This, indeed, Gong Ruini hadn’t thought that far ahead. Besides, whether they’d want to be a successor in the future was a big question in itself.

"I’m just thinking about what I can do now, and I just want to try my best." Gong Ruini said softly.

"For me, it’s just ten months of effort, but for the child, it might really impact their whole life." Yes, how could she think her struggle was hard?

Compared to her struggles, the children would face an unpredictable future.

Zhao Xuran was truly astonished. He knew the prenatal period was important for a child, but he never thought it could be so significant.

What was even more frightening was that his wife took this very seriously, so what should he do?

Zhao Xuran was bewildered, and Zhao Guangran, passing by, was stunned, oh my, Gong Ruini actually took this matter to heart completely.

Seems like this was something he said, right? Zhao Guangran really just wanted to say that he was simply speaking casually back then, with no theoretical basis.

Anyone who heard such a statement would not become so engrossed, but unexpectedly, Gong Ruini would remember it thoroughly.

Gong Ruzhi noticed Zhao Guangran walking with his arms and legs in unison, which really surprised him.

He had never seen Brother Guangran so panicked before. Wait, was he going to call their sister and them over to say something went wrong and things got unpleasant? Otherwise, why would he be like this?

Gong Ruzhi really couldn’t imagine what could remain unresolved until now.

Speeding off to Gong Ruini’s bedroom, Gong Jiaming definitely followed along.

Zhan Jing was dumbfounded. What was happening, why was Raizhi acting strange, and then Xiao Zhi and the others rushed over too?

Did they not solve the problem even now? That really frustrated Zhan Jing.

Zhan Jing stood up abruptly, and Zhao Guangran dared not let his mom go over.

Gong Ruzhi expected to hear a fight between his sister and brother-in-law, but unexpectedly, they were discussing why his sister liked eating sea fish so much.

Especially when he heard his sister talking about that theory of eating sea fish, inexplicably, Gong Ruzhi found it strangely familiar.

"I always feel like I’ve heard this from someone." Gong Jiaming didn’t understand why there were so many intricacies involved in eating sea fish, he simply didn’t get it.

As for Gong Ruini’s behavior, he could only say that Ni Zi would definitely become a good mom in the future.

Responding to Gong Ruzhi’s ramblings, his reaction was that it was just what Ni Zi had said.

"Ah, I remember now." Given his youth and excellent memory, "Brother Guangran mentioned it."

"Yes, he did. Now I understand why he was acting so strangely earlier." Clearly, the topic his sister and brother-in-law were discussing wasn’t problematic, so why was Brother Guangran so nervous?
